I have never in my life walked with a harness. The weight of the tether, makes it feel like I'm dragging an anchor behind me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a very heavy-footed walk; I always have.
I don't know how I didn't kill any one of my sisters. For this one horror film we were making, I made my own harness for my sister. I wrapped her in all these ropes, but then also put a noose around her neck and hung her from a tree. Now I think, 'What if my harness didn't work?' I'm so lucky that nothing ever happened.
I did a lot of trapeze stuff when I did 'Pippin' and continued to do it afterward. Flying is so fun, and I was used to the harness idea, but these harnesses are like intense, full bodysuit things.
I have a dog. He needs to be walked, and I love running, so I pull out my running shoes.
I'm still at the end of my rope because I find myself not handling things well when I travel.
I always check my harness before I do a stunt; I test-drive the cars I have to race or explode; I'm present at all pyrotechnical rehearsals; and I walk through everything step-by-step. No man should put their life in someone else's hands unless they have covered their own safety from all angles.
I do this system called TRX. It was developed by a Navy SEAL and is basically a simple cord that you can wrap around something anywhere, anytime, and you use your body weight as resistance. We installed one in our home gym, but you can also attach it to a tree. It's very easy to travel with.
I am a wire-walker. I can walk any time, anywhere - I'm indestructible.
I did a lot of stunts, so the harness work isn't foreign to me either.
When I did my spacewalks, it was during space station construction. So the shuttle was docked to the fledgling ISS at the time. So we would always stay tethered.
